What is Jousts Of Aphrodite: Erotic Verse Translated From The Original Greek (english And Ancient Greek Edition) about?
The erotic content of the Greek Anthology, a collection of poems written in the time of Caesar and assembled by Byzantine scholars nearly one thousand years ago, has long been consigned to the obscurity of specialized academic study. Here, in his humorous and lyrical modern adaptations, Kelly recaptures for the modern reader the essence of the originals - unashamed enjoyment of sex and the celebration of sensual love.
